PLUMBMG ON SMITH
OFFICE BUILDING
Wllley and McCulIoch Arc Putting in
Best Fixtures Obtainable and
Work Is High Grade
Wllley & McCulIoch, the local
plumbing firm, are putting in some
high grade work at the C. A. Smith
Lumber and Manufacturing com
pany's office building on Isthmus In
let. The job when completed, will
bo tho best that has ever been put
Into a building on Coos Bay and will
stand as an example of the best
work In plumbing that can be ob
tained. The Smith company Is
sparing no expense In this work and
the fixtures are standard ware; tho
sinks are stone. All fixtures are
back vented, with drum and grease
traps which allow no possible chance
of escaping sewer gas, which so often
occurs when the old style traps are
used. All the joints made In the
plumbing are wiped and are there
fore secure from breaking or coming
loose nnd leaking. The wiped joint
is much superior to the soldered
joint, since tho latter often are found
to leak by breaking of the solder.
Tho firm of Wllley & McCulIoch are
making a success in their lino and
have several fine contracts on hand
for tho near future.
KAUFFMAN & COMPANY

I. S. Kauffman & Company will re
move today from the office they oc
cupied so long, to the new building
just completed on the Smith property
next to tho Ekblad hardware on
Front street. This new office build
ing gives tho company a commodlus
nud ground floor location. Tho
building is 30 feet by IS and thero is
a largo front office, besides two priv
ato offices in the rear. Tho interior
Is finished In stained fir and makes a
very attractive appearance.
RIGHT OF WAY MAN
LEAVES COOS BAY
J. AV. Nelr, right of way agent for
tho Southern Pacific, has folded his
tents and stolen away for other
parts. Ho gave out word that he
was going to Los Angeles with his
family, their home, and started away
yesterday morning over the Drain
route. So, It seems, for the pres
et tim railroad company is not
much Interested in purchasing the
right of way for the Drain-Coos Bay
railroad, as Mr. NIer had no plans
for returning to Marshfleld, at least,
so far as anybody could learn. His
office Is closed.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC

eer of tho Southern Pacific survey,

WAGON ROAD ON ROGUE
Forest Service to Build Telephone
Lines, Trails mid Roads in Iso
lated Section.
(Port Orford Tribune.)
W. C. Herlng, chief engineer, has
just completed an Inspection of tho
Southern Oregon forest reserves and
has approved the several Improve
ments proposed for this district. He
has 'instructed Superlntendant M. J.
Anderson of the Siskiyou reserve,
who has headquarters in Grants'Pass,
to proceed at once to build telephone
lines, roads and trails. Several tele
phono lines will be strung this fall,
wire being now on the way here.
One line will extend to the Oregon
caves, another to the Blue Ledge
mining district of Siskiyou county,
California, and another to Kerby and
extended to the remote Checto min
ing region of Curry county. The
proposed wagon road down Rogue
river to the Bear Camp region re
ceived tho hearty approval of Mr.
Herring. It is now being surveyed
and wlll'be built as soon as the route
Is selected. A good trail will be ex
tended from the end of, this road to
Gold Beach. This will give the Iso
lated region of the lower Rogue river
country a moro direct route" to the
Interior. The mall will no doubt be
carried over this shorter route in
preference to the long mountain trail
from West Fork, and In this one re
spect will be a great convenience to
the people of that region, as more
than a week Is now required to make
the round trip from Grants Pass to
Gold Beach.
ANDREW WOODS WILL
MOVE FAMILY HERE
Andrew Woods has gone to Port
land to remove his barber shop to

IN SEPTEMBER
Chamber of Commerce Meet
ing Last Night Full of In
teresting Features.
CHANNEL PLANS READY
Henry Piers Placed Map on Exhibi
tion Where it Will Remain for
A AVcek.
At the meeting of tho Chamber of
Commerce last evening considerable
routine business was transacted.
President McCormac presided and Sec
retary Lyons read hie minutes of the
last meeting which were duly ap
proved. Mr. H. C. Dlers, of North Bend,
was present and on behalf of tho
committee on the Port of Coos Bay
reported that the committee had pre
pared a map showing tho intended
horbor lines. The map he had with
him and he caused it to be tacked up
on the wall of the hall where it
could then be Inspected by all who
desired to do so. He further stated
that the committed had found that
certain conditions in the harbor
would make It necessary to change
the present lines materially. For In
stance, tho channel would have to
be enlarged and the lines set back at
Marshfleld so as to make it possible
to give ample room for tho current as
It would go with a rush through a
narrow channel and would require It
to be widened some two thousand
feet at North Bend, If allowed to re
main narrow at Marshfleld. This
would be lmpractlqable. He also
called attention to the fact that cer
tain lines bad been established with a
view to enabling ships to swing
around tho point of North Bend with
out the necessity of too short a turn.
The committee desired to meet any
citizens who might consider that they
had objections to the lines estab
lished and complete explanations
would be offered, and If possible cor
rections would bo made.
The secretary stated that ho had
received a letter from Dr. AVlthy
combo in which he advised him that
he and the members of tho Agri
cultural College faculty could not be
at Marshfleld until the lGth of Sep
tember. It had therefore been con
sidered that tlie time for the exhibi
tion of fruit and vegetables would be
gin on the 1 lth, and tho prizes would
be awarded on the 16th. It was de
sirable to have a largo and credit
able exhibit, and all Coos Bay people
should take part. Mr. Walte had of
fered -twenty dollars for tho box of
Gravenstelns which would take tho
prize, and Mr. Dow expecte'd to add a
prize also. Mr. Seymour Bell had
Indicated his Intention to give a prlzo
for somo exhibit also but It was not
yet decided on which exhibit It should
bo placed. The ladles of Marshfleld
could help very materially to make
tho exhibit a success by contributing
flowers. Ho would like to see flow
ers of all kinds in tho hall and ho be
lieved it would be well to have one of
the prizes awarded for tho best
floral display. Such a floral display
would help to set off the exhibits and
would also reflect; great credit on the
taste and refinement as well as tho
U.cal spirit and patriotism of the
Indies of Marshfleld. He was glad to
see that somo floral tribute had al
ready beon placed In the room.
Mr. Grimes called attention to the
fact that tho assessor had made a
horizontal ralso in tho assessment
of Marshleld property and bad es
timated the valuo of such property
on Its selling price. This ho believed
was a great mistake as it would make
tho citizens' of Marshfleld pay a
greater portion of tho county tax
than they were 'entitled to pay.
On motion It was voted that a
committee bo appointed by tho Presi
dent who should take measures to
have tho assessment reduced to a
proper basis by tho Board of Equal
ization. Tho secretary reported that Cap
tain Harris of Sumner desired tho
Chamber to-appoint a committee to
meet him and inspect a road from
Sumner and opening tho inlet con
nected with such road. Messrs.
Lyons, Smith and Grimes woro ap
pointed members of the commltteo
for that purpose.
Other business was transacted and
on motion tho meeting adjourned.!

TELEGRAPH STRIKE
MAY BE SETTLED
Demands To He Moderated Agree
ment "Honorable" To Union
Is Probable.
Chicago, Aug. 27. The crisis will
bo reached In the tolegraphers strike
within the next few days, according
to tho expectations of the Chicago
operators. Announcement to this
effect was made today by Frank
Likes, chairman of the local striko
committee. Likes declined fully to
discuss his, reasons for making this
statement, but from other sources It
was learned that the operators aro
expecting some sort of an offer from
the company within a short time.
In view of the determined stand
taken by both corporations against
dealing with the strikers collectively,
this report was viewed with skepti
cism in many quarters. It Is said
that many of tho strikers would bo
willing to return, to work upon a
promise that they bo given free uso
of typewriters and a moderate wago
Increase. Recognition of the union,
it is dcelared, would not be Insisted
upon. Further color to the various
rumors was given, by the departure
In tho afternoon of President S. J.
Small for New York. It Is believed
that ho hopes to open negotiations
for a settlement.
A dispatch from AVashlngton to
night stated that tho officers of tho
local union thero predict a settle
ment of the struggle before next
Wednesday. Not moro than passing
notice probably would bo given tho
statement -were It not for tho fact
that Commissioner of Labor Nelll,
since he left Chicago, has been con
ducting all his negotiations through
tho officers of the AVashlngton union.
Tho AVashlngton officials declared
that the settlement will be "honor
able" to the union. AVhile it is said
that Nelll has been unable to make
any progress In the direction of ar
bitration, It is believed In. AVashlng
ton union circles that tho strike may
bo ended by other means.

cials of tho Soo-Spokane Interna
tional Railway regarding a now train
